Local tips

  • Visit earlier in the day if you need detailed sizing help for wetsuits or gear, as staff have more time for questions before peak afternoon demand.
  • Bring or note your usual European shoe and clothing sizes to make comparing booties, gloves and jackets faster and more accurate.
  • Ask about typical water temperatures for your season; it helps when choosing the right wetsuit thickness and accessories for Rømø’s brisk sea.
  • If you are travelling with kids, check the children’s section first—warm layers and ponchos can make long, windy beach days far more comfortable.

Surf spirit on a North Sea island

WESTWIND Rømø sits in Havneby, the small harbour town on Rømø known for its wide beaches, strong winds and laid-back coastal rhythm. This is not a generic clothing store but a hub tailored to the life that revolves around the Wadden Sea and the North Sea swells. Inside, rails of hoodies, jackets and soft fleeces share space with technical layers designed to keep you warm before and after a session in the water. The atmosphere is relaxed and practical, with staff used to talking about tides, wind direction and which stretch of sand is best for your level of experience. Even if you are not heading out with a board, you feel plugged into the island’s outdoor culture as soon as you step through the door.

Gear for wind, waves and weather

The store focuses on kitesurfing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding gear, alongside wetsuits in a range of thicknesses to match the often brisk Danish waters. Here you can compare neoprene gloves, hoods and boots, browse harnesses and impact vests, and check out leashes, fins and repair kits that can rescue a session when something snaps. Beyond hard gear, there is a strong emphasis on functional clothing suited to Rømø’s shifting coastal weather. Windproof jackets, quick-drying tops, UV-protective rash guards and cozy beanies reflect the reality that even summer days can turn cool when the sea breeze picks up.

Laid-back coastal style

Alongside performance items, WESTWIND Rømø also leans into everyday surf fashion. You find logo tees, soft sweatshirts, shorts and caps that channel that easy-going, sand-underfoot feeling, even when you are away from the shore. Colours tend to echo the local landscape: muted sea greens, stormy blues and sandy neutrals. This mix makes the shop just as appealing to casual visitors as to committed riders. Families dropping in after a beach walk can pick up warm layers for kids, while teens gravitate towards the more graphic, urban-inspired pieces that still feel rooted in the surf scene.

Gateway to Rømø’s outdoor playground

For many, a stop at WESTWIND Rømø marks the practical start of an active day. It is where you double-check that everyone has the right wetsuit thickness, upgrade a too-tired harness, or finally invest in that poncho towel that makes changing on a windy beach less of a battle. Advice is part of the experience, whether you are weighing up different kite sizes or wondering what time of year you really need boots and gloves. Even if you are simply exploring the island, the shop offers a snapshot of what draws people to Rømø: big skies, strong winds and space to move. Stepping back out with your new gear in hand, the road to the sands feels like a natural next step.

Season, opening rhythm and practical notes

WESTWIND Rømø follows a straightforward daily schedule, opening mid-morning and closing in the late afternoon. The consistent hours make it easy to fit a visit around sessions on the water or long beach walks. In the busier summer months, it helps to come earlier in the day if you need sizing advice or are kitting out several people at once. The shop footprint is modest but efficiently organised, so browsing never feels overwhelming. With its harbour-side location in Havneby, it can form part of a relaxed circuit that includes the marina, local eateries and the ever-present view towards the tidal flats of the Wadden Sea.
